Thanks for bringing this to our attention; apologies for being slow to fix this.

We've made a long-term public commitment to always keep servers up for our games: we're extremely against the deactivation of game servers. This has been reiterated many times in the past but I'm happy to do so again here.

This will be fixed and patched eventually - I'm sorry that we can't get to it immediately but we will do so ASAP.

I found the interface of FS Prime more difficult to get on with.
But still *very* disappointed about the lack of any obvious fixes for FS. It's fine that there are no new features, but obvious bugs should be remedied.

Frankly as far as the planning goes, the minimalistic approach of original FS is the best option. I wouldn't mind seeing the resolution (the actual one, not the planning replays) with a nicer interface.
